Re: Tips on hunting WT in December?
Poke around a bit that time of year in the Okanagan. Some big bucks that survive the rifle bombarding will be on the prowl all day long for straggler does. I've found the deer are hitting food sources regularly during this time. I use cob to get the does coming and just sit on them does. First time I tried it 4 point buck was first deer to show up on it 3 hrs after putting it out, mid afternoon well before dark. It works, I set up ground blind still trying to play the wind and set up accordingly. Best success is setting blind/bait up couple days prior to hunting it, let's the deer become comfortable with changing their dining room configuration. Good luck
The only advantage to a light rifle is it's weight, all other advantages go to the heavier rifle..
